NVIDIA touts Agent Substrate to extend Kubernetes for AI agents at scale

[NVIDIA] NVIDIA said in a blog post dated Nov 10, 2026 that it is advancing Kubernetes support for AI agents at scale with an approach it calls Agent Substrate. According to NVIDIA, AI agents spend most of their time idle, waiting on a human prompt, a tool result or a model response, and Kubernetes was not built for that pattern; running one Pod per agent is problematic. The post did not disclose performance figures or availability timing.
